Junior Fa vs Newfel Ouatah

Post by handsofstone »

This Saturday on box/nation unbeaten New Zealand Heavyweight Fa takes on former European title challenger Ouatah, never heard of either guy but I read Fa was 2-2 with Parker in the amateurs and are building a fight between both, the only name I recognise on his record is Rogelio Omar Rossi who challenged Huck for the world Cruiserweight title years go, Fa knocked him out in a round in his last fight

No notable wins on Ouatah's record but he's been stopped in both his losses, from Teper for the European and Duhaupas, decent opposition

Fa blows away Ouatah in a round, the ref stopping it after Ouatah was down for a 4th time, the first KD Fa caught him with a big right hand coming out of a clinch and the other 3 were basically Ouatah going down from a barrage of punches still shaky from the first KD

Decent from Fa in a sense he got rid of Ouatah much quicker than Duhaupas and Teper but still pish

Even though he is 29, Fa is very much a work in progress.
I have watched him trim down considerably in the last 3 years. He is also gaining a lot of experience in sparring now he is based in the US.
The weight loss had an affect on his power IMO, it seems they are addressing that. While I don't think he is a threat to any of the top #5 HW's, nor will he be, he does have a chance to make some competitive showings around the #10-#25 range in the boxrec rankings. If you want to collate the top #5 up and coming prospects, Fa is definitely #5.

Yeah hard to say from only seeing less than a round but he looked good, i mentioned "pish" above but i was talking more Ouatah's showing, looking forward to seeing him again and i love a prospect with a name that's easy to remember , the other unbeaten Kiwi on the card looked good as well

Hemi Ahio is a bit small for a HW. He is very fiesty, and has quick hands. Vs Kownacki or Ruiez Jr would be OK to watch.

Watched this card Sunday morning.

Arias had a tougher opponent, even if he was fat as f**k and wearing an ill fitting white skirt that looked like a towell.

It looked as though they grabbed some fat bloke as he was coming out of the shower and offered him a few quid to jump in the ring.

His shorts/skirt/towell was falling down so much he was spending 2 minutes of most rounds with his arse crack on show.

He went the distance though, which meant we had to sit through that debacle for 8 rounds.

The kids found it funny though.

I liked the look of Stephan Shaw stopping Donovan Dennis, looked sharp and relaxed. Time for Dennis to retire now, was a heavy knockout
